Acquittal Report: Results of the 2009–10 Audits
Overview
This report acquits the final results of the 2009–10 audits of all entities with 30 June 2010 balance dates.
Parliament can have confidence in the financial reports, standard statements and performance statements prepared for 30 June 2010.
The average time taken by portfolio departments, public hospitals and water entities to finalise their financial statements substantially improved by one to three weeks and were finalised within eight weeks, on average, of balance date. Timeliness of local government financial reporting remained consistent at around 11 weeks, on average, of balance date.
Indicators of financial sustainability show that short-term challenges exist for many self funded state entities, public hospitals and water entities. There has however been improvement in the financial sustainability of councils.
